There is increased competition in the workplace as well as heightened demand for workplace-ready graduates from both employers and government. ALES Experiential Learning Excellence Fund meets those needs by equipping students with practical, real-world experience.

Through support from donors, students can participate without the burden of additional costs. Expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and bio-security equipment are covered, allowing students to fully engage in learning and exploration within their chosen fields.

Graduates who have access to experiential learning emerge career-ready, often gaining improved transferable skills, a clearer professional identity and higher employment rates after graduation. Many ALES agricultural students come from urban backgrounds, so connecting them with rural industry roles is essential to help them understand and experience the skills these careers require.
